Exam III Sample Problems
1.
Approximate
correctly to two decimal places. Hint
2.
If v(t) = |10(t-1)2|-3, and s(0) = 5,
-
complete the following table,explaining how you got your answers and
why you know they're correct. For this part, you need not provide error
estimates:
-
Use your data to sketch a graph of s(t).
-
Use your graph of s(t) to sketch its derivative.
-
Hint
3.
4.
Suppose that the rate at which a pollutant is being removed according
to the equation dP/dt = -P0e-kt (in
milligrams/liter/hour):
-
Note: The derivative is negative, so pollutant is being added!
(Alternatively, we could try to think of P as being the amount of pollutant
left, but the interpretation was given to us, so we're stuck with pollutant
being added...)
-
If after 5 hours the rate at which the pollutant is being removed is
10% of what it was initially, what is k?
Hint
-
If the pollution level was originally 10 mg/liter, what is the pollution
level after 5 hours? Hint
5.
For this problem we'll use the graph below twice:
-
For this first part, suppose the graph above is that of position:
-
When is the position the greatest?
-
When is the velocity the greatest?
-
What would the average position be?
-
What would the average velocity be?
-
When is the acceleration positive? Negative?
-
Hint
-
For this second part, suppose that the graph is that of velocity instead,
and try to answer the same questions (the answers will be different!)
